Here are four popular websites for online users. https://www. cracked. com If you’re old enough, you might remember Cracked, the monthly magazine that was founded in 1958. Although the magazine is no longer printed, the website hutps://uwww. crached. com is still alive. The content(内容)of Cracked is humorous and tries to tell readers something new and unexpected. https://www. buzzfeed. com Are you looking for links to big news on the Internet? Look no further than hutps://www. buzafeed. com. Each day the website offers the latest stories and pictures that are crazily spread. BuzzFeed covers different topics and its articles are written by staff members, site users, and partner sites like The Huffington Post and The Daily Beast. https://www. reddit. com Reddit calls itself“the front page of the Internet”, and that is exactly what it is. Just as many people used to read the newspaper while eating breakfast, one to two million Internet users read Reddit every morning to get their daily news. The content of this website comes entirely from the public, with users uploading(上传) videos, links, stories, pictures, etc. https://imgur. com Do you know many of the funny pictures, GIFs and emojis(表情符号) that hit your Facebook come from Imgur? It’s a free website where users upload 1. 5 million pictures each day. Imgur users are especially fond of pictures of cute animals and beautiful natural wonders. And it is free to read and use. You can download any photo you like. 1 Which of the following can best describe the content of Cracked? A. Serious and classical. B. Formal and influential. C. Funny and surprising. D. Traditional and educational. 2. What does BuzzFeed mainly offer? A. The funniest pictures. B. The most humorous articles. C. The latest videos. D. The hottest news. 3.

B Nobody likes waiting in long lines at amusement parks especially when you are with babies. Disney World is known for its splendid rides, attractions and large crowds as well. The familiar result is that many guests have spent a lot of time just waiting in lines while visiting the theme parks, which annoys the majority. Until recently, both parks made use of the FastPass system to keep guests moving. On certain rides. park-goers could obtain a ticket that allowed them to come back within a specific time window. At that point, they would wait on a special line for seating. As explained in a recent You Tube share, the system worked similarly to a real queue. Instead of waiting in line, guests could continue to explore the park and, most importantly for Disney, spend more money at shops and restaurants. While the FastPass system became popular, usage ended during the recent pandemic. With both the California and Florida theme parks operating at reduced visiting number, the space taken up by FastPass kiosks was instead used for socially distanced lines. In its place, Disney has developed a new planning tool called Disney Genie. The online app. which became available in Disney World in October, allows guests to create a path for their visit. By using park data that’s updated throughout the day, the app will help guests plan out their visit so that they can hit the rides and attractions that they want to in the most convenient way. Guests using the app pay an extra fee and get the option to book the next available time to ride select attractions. 4. What may upset most visitors of Disney? A. Long time in lines. B. Poor equipment in theme parks C. Fewer attractions. D. High prices at restaurants 5. What did FastPass system bring about? A. Lower ticket fees. B. Fewer visitors in Disney. C. Extra income at shops in Disney. D. Having a comfortable and better seat. 6. What is the best title of this text? A. The Rise of the New APP B. FastPass System Became Popular C. YouTube Share Makes a Difference D. Crowd Management at Disney world 7. Who is this text mainly written for? A. Computer programmers B. Travelers to Disney World C. Businessmen of supermarkets D. Foreign entertainment park builders C In the 1997 movie Contact, a scientist, played by actress Jodie Foster, detects a radio signal — the first communication from an extraterrestrial (外星的) civilization. That story, composed by Carl Sagan, is a fiction. But the search for such a signal is not a crazy story. Real scientists look to the sky, using powerful radio telescopes, hoping to hear even a whisper of a radio signal from one of our neighbor planets. Indeed, a recent report of a transmission originating from Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our own, was reported by the British newspaper The Guardian in December. The source of the story is not a scientific paper, but instead it seems to have been leaked by an unknown source. The claim of a signal, if it turns out to be truly a sign of extraterrestrial intelligence, would be one of the most important discoveries of all times. In April and May of 2019, the 64-meter-wide Parkes radio telescope, located in Australia, was recording radio transmissions from the direction of nearby star Proxima Centauri. Over the course of hours, the telescope documented data from the star every half an hour, before staying away to look at a different direction. This procedure, called “nodding” was used to make sure that any observed signal is coming from a particular direction, rather than just random radio noise. This signal was not immediately noticed; it was over a year after the data was recorded that Shane Smith, an assistant with Breakthrough Listen, found it buried in the telescope’s recordings. This was in late October 2020. So, what exactly was seen? It was a radio signal at a single frequency, specifically 980.002 MHz. It was observed to have originated in a small patch of the sky, about half the diameter (直径) of the full moon, centred on Proxima Centauri. First and foremost, it is important to note that astronomers think it is highly unlikely that the signal is caused by space aliens trying to communicate with us. However, astronomers mentioning the significance of the signal cannot be ignored. 8. Why is the movie Contact mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To show the close connection between fiction and signals. B. To introduce the topic of a radio signal from a near planet. C. To stress the importance of the extraterrestrial civilization. D. To persuade people to pay more attention to radio signals. 9. How did the radio telescope collect data? A. By recording the data every 30 minutes. B. By staying away at a different direction. C. By analyzing the direction of the signals. D. By focusing on some random radio noise. 10. What do we know about the radio signal found by Shane Smith? A. It was sent by some space aliens. B. It lay in the centre of Proxima Centauri. C. It was noticed as soon as it was observed. D. It changed rapidly with the passing of time. 11. What might be talked about in the paragraph following the text? A. How aliens think about the radio signal. B. The potential results of the radio signal. C. The importance of finding the radio signal. D. How other countries react to the radio signal. D Japan's biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn't traveling at all. For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot—called an Avatar—that's controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc., it looks like a vacuum cleaner with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter's face as they chat, and its wheels let her move about the house as though she's really there. “Virtual travel” is nothing new,of course.Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been stimulating the senses of armchair tourists for centuries. It's only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become available to the non- wealthy. Yet even as the world's middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seat, there are signs of a post-travel society emerging. Concerns about environmental sustainability cause loss to airlines which release much carbon. And the aging of abundant societies is both restricting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trends. Of course new technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesn't plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be difficult to make: By one estimate, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANA's traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year. But if the business value for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to only expand. ANA's robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they ll almost certainly be a part of travel's high-tech future. 12. Why does the author use the example of a couple interacting with a robot? A To show the Japanese are crazy about travel. B. To indicate virtual travel begins to enter people's real life. C. To show the couple are very enthusiastic over robots. D. To express the close relationship between the couple and their daughter. 13. Which of the following is the possible reason for virtual travel's appearance? A. Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been using it for centuries. B. Frequent and safe travel has become available to the ordinary people. C. People are worried about the air pollution caused by airlines. D. More and more people lose interest in travel. 14. What can we learn about Avatars from the last two paragraphs? A. They will be put on the market soon. B. They will bring ANA a lot of money, C. They will replace ANA's airplanes soon. D. They are almost unavoidable in travel's future. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Your Next Travel May Be Virtual B. Easy Travel in the Future C. Virtual Travel Benefits D.

My reputation for doing this has grown. ____17____ Since I am somewhat fluent in Spanish, I could charge people for this and become somewhat of an official tour guide.

It’s a time that both you and the tourist will probably never obtain again. ____20____ A. Everyone can do the same. B. I could hardly have imagined it would happen. C. It could also help me create a lifelong connection with them. D. What’s most crucial is experiencing the genuine country and culture. E.

I should add that we’re not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old. That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless. One day, I paid a visit to her. On my arrival, seeing my low spirits, she asked me whether I had prepared to get a new start. I just kept silent. Without any more words, she picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table, saying “You do know what you’re doing with these things, don’t you?” It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty ancient. “Yes,” I said. “Good. That’s why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home and get it all set up,” she went on. “Then, when you bring it back, show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the Internet, sending e-mails and so on.” She smiled so sweetly. Setting up the phone would be easy, but teaching her how to use it might be challenging. The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother’s with the phone. “Here’s your phone. It’s all ready to use.” For the next hour, I was busy setting up her passcode (密码) and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond. When I finally got her to swipe (滑动屏幕), she didn’t put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. “Take it away!” she howled. “I want my old phone back!” I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn’t want to go home when she was angry. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was not feeling so hopeless any more now. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2023-2024 高三 翔安科技 开学考 英语试题 2023.10 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话，每段对话后各有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题; 每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Every day, millions of people surf the Internet, and there are countless websites for them to visit.

A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国《卫报》去年报道了一份报告，称观测到来自距离地球最近的半人马座比邻星的信号，2019年位于澳大利亚的帕克斯射电望远镜记录了来自比邻星方向的一个单一频率无线电信号。虽然天文学家认为这个信号不可能来自外星智慧生命，但他们肯定了这个信号的重要性。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In the 1997 movie Contact, a scientist, played by actress Jodie Foster, detects a radio signal — the first communication from an extraterrestrial (外星的) civilization. That story, composed by Carl Sagan, is a fiction. But the search for such a signal is not a crazy story. Real scientists look to the sky, using powerful radio telescopes, hoping to hear even a whisper of a radio signal from one of our neighbor planets. (在1997年的电影《超时空接触》中，女演员Jodie Foster饰演的一位科学家探测到了一个无线电信号——这是来自外星文明的第一次通信。那个由Carl Sagan创作的故事是虚构的。但是寻找这样的信号并不是一个疯狂的故事。真正的科学家用强大的射电望远镜仰望天空，希望能听到来自我们邻近行星的哪怕是一丝微弱的无线电信号)”可知，文章先描述电影《超时空接触》中科学家探测到来自外星文明的无线电信号，然后指出这虽然是虚构的，但现实中真正的科学家的确在做这样的尝试，后文围绕邻近行星的信号展开。由此可知，此处提到这部电影是为了引入来自邻近行星无线电信号的话题。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Over the course of hours, the telescope documented data from the star every half an hour, before staying away to look at a different direction. (在几个小时的时间里，望远镜每半小时记录一次来自这颗恒星的数据，然后离开去观察不同的方向)”可知，这台射电望远镜每隔半小时记录一次恒星的数据。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“It was observed to have originated in a small patch of the sky, about half the diameter (直径) of the full moon, centred on Proxima Centauri. (它被观测到起源于天空的一小块区域，大约是满月直径的一半，中心是比邻星)”可知，Shane Smith发现的无线电信号在比邻星的中心。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“First and foremost, it is important to note that astronomers think it is highly unlikely that the signal is caused by space aliens trying to communicate with us. However, astronomers mentioning the significance of the signal cannot be ignored. (首先，重要的是要注意到，天文学家认为这个信号极不可能是由试图与我们交流的外星人引起的。然而，天文学家提到的信号的重要性是不能忽视的)”可知，虽然该信号不可能来自外星人，但是它很重要。由此推知，接下来很可能探讨发现信号的重要性。故选C项。 D Japan's biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn't traveling at all. For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot—called an Avatar—that's controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc., it looks like a vacuum cleaner with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter's face as they chat, and its wheels let her move about the house as though she's really there. “Virtual travel” is nothing new,of course.Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been stimulating the senses of armchair tourists for centuries. It's only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become available to the non- wealthy. Yet even as the world's middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seat, there are signs of a post-travel society emerging. Concerns about environmental sustainability cause loss to airlines which release much carbon. And the aging of abundant societies is both restricting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trends. Of course, new technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesn't plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be difficult to make: By one estimate, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANA's traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year. But if the business value for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to only expand. ANA's robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they ll almost certainly be a part of travel's high-tech future. 12. Why does the author use the example of a couple interacting with a robot? A. To show the Japanese are crazy about travel. B. To indicate virtual travel begins to enter people's real life. C. To show the couple are very enthusiastic over robots. D. To express the close relationship between the couple and their daughter. 13. Which of the following is the possible reason for virtual travel's appearance? A. Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been using it for centuries. B. Frequent and safe travel has become available to the ordinary people. C. People are worried about the air pollution caused by airlines. D. More and more people lose interest in travel. 14. What can we learn about Avatars from the last two paragraphs? A. They will be put on the market soon. B. They will bring ANA a lot of money, C. They will replace ANA's airplanes soon. D. They are almost unavoidable in travel's future. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Your Next Travel May Be Virtual B. Easy Travel in the Future C. Virtual Travel Benefits D. Air Travel Disappearing 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。日本最大的航空公司创造了Avatar机器人，可以帮助人们实现虚拟旅游，但这家公司暂时不打算售卖这款机器人。虽然虚拟旅游还没有足够的商业价值，但未来其市场需求只会有增无减，这家公司的机器人也一定会成为高科技旅行未来的一部分。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot… displays the daughter's face as they chat, and its wheels let her move about the house as though she's really there.”可知一对夫妇一直在与一个被称为“Avatar”的机器人互动，这个机器人由他们数百英里外的女儿控制。它由全日空公司生产，看起来像一个带有iPad的真空吸尘器。但这对夫妻与女儿聊天时，屏幕上显示的是女儿的脸，她可以借助机器人的轮子来回移动，就好像她真的在那里一样。Avatar机器人帮助女儿实现了虚拟旅游，作者举这个例子就是为了证明虚拟旅游已经开始进入现实生活。故选B项 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Concerns about environmental sustainability cause loss to airlines which release much carbon. ..demand for alternative ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trends.”可知对环境可持续性的担忧正在让排放量很高的航空公司遭受损失。富裕社会的老龄化不仅限制了人们的身体旅行，也催生了用其他方式体验社会的需求。对于旅游业来说，虚拟现实为这些趋势提供了一个有人的解决方案。由此推断人们担忧航空造成的空气污染可能是虚拟旅游出现的原因。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“ANA's robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they ll almost certainly be a part of travel's high-tech future.”可知ANA公司的机器人可能不会很快取代飞机，但它们几乎可以肯定地是，他们会成为高科技旅游业未来的一部分。也就是说在未来的旅行中， Avatar机器人几乎是不可避免的。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。本文第一段通过一对夫妻借助一家日本公司生产的Avatar机器人成功实现虚拟旅游的例子来表明虚拟旅游已经开始进入现实，接着探讨了虚拟旅游出现的可能原因，最后指出虽然虚拟度假还没有足够的商业价值，但未来其市场需求只会有增无减。全文都是围绕虚拟旅游来写的，所以A项（你的下一次度假可能是虚拟的）最适合做本文的标题。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 I’ve been living in Spain for decades and I securely guarantee that I have a talent in figuring out the cool hidden local spots. As a foreigner, I couldn’t care less about doing the touristy things or enjoying fancy cuisine. ____16____ So I always attempt to find something that’s appealing and fun yet represents the local culture, and that offers an interaction with the locals. My reputation for doing this has grown. ____17____ Since I am somewhat fluent in Spanish, I could charge people for this and become somewhat of an official tour guide. I choose not to though, because to me, the most important thing is making sure the tourist, who already spent a lot of time and money getting to where I am, has the fun and cultural experience they could possibly have. ____18____ In that case, tourists can explore the local culture further at the lowest cost. They could otherwise spend a significant sum of money on a guided tour that keeps them comfortable but separated from the culture. I choose to give them an experience that’s deeper and opens their mind, all for free. ____19____ When someone is visiting your area, don’t just take them to the touristy spots. Show them the places that mean something to you. Show them your heart through the places that you show them and the experience you give them. There’s something good in almost every town out there. If you don’t have any spots in your area that you like, learn to find the good in the place you live. If you find the good in where you live, you will also find the good in yourself. It’s a time that both you and the tourist will probably never obtain again. ____20____ A. Everyone can do the same. B. I could hardly have imagined it would happen. C. It could also help me create a lifelong connection with them. D. What’s most crucial is experiencing the genuine country and culture. E. I know better than tourists themselves what they are eager to experience. F. Don’t rush the experience, thoroughly enjoy every moment with that person. G. I’m being asked frequently to offer people tours, both to friends and strangers. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. C 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是作者作为一位生活在西班牙的外国人，建议人们带游客体验一下当地一些吸引人的、有趣又能代表当地文化的地方。 【16题详解】 根据空后“So I always attempt to find something that’s appealing and fun yet represents the local culture, and that offers an interaction with the locals.(所以我总是试图找到一些既吸引人又有趣的东西，同时又能代表当地文化，并提供与当地人互动的机会)”中的so可知，此空处讲述的内容与空后内容为因果关系，D选项“What’s most crucial is experiencing the genuine country and culture.(最重要的是体验真正的国家和文化)”中的experiencing the genuine country and culture与空后内容相关，都与体验当地文化相关，且与空后内容为因果关系。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据空后的“Since I am somewhat fluent in Spanish, I could charge people for this and become somewhat of an official tour guide.(因为我的西班牙语说得比较流利，所以我可以向人们收取费用，这样我就可以成为一名正式导游)”可知，此处讲述的是作者因西班牙语说的很流利而成为正式的导游，G选项“I’m being asked frequently to offer people tours, both to friends and strangers.(我经常被要求提供人们提供旅游，既有朋友也有陌生人)”讲述的内容与作者作导游相关。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“I choose not to though, because to me, the most important thing is making sure the tourist, who already spent a lot of time and money getting to where I am, has the fun and cultural experience they could possibly have.(但我选择不这么做，因为对我来说，最重要的是确保那些已经花了很多时间和金钱来到我所在的地方的游客，能尽可能地享受到乐趣和文化体验)”可知，作者认为最重要的是确保游客体验到该有的乐趣和文化体验，结合空后“In that case, tourists can explore the local culture further at the lowest cost.(在这种情况下,游客们可以以最低的成本进一步研究当地文化)”可知，那样的话，游客就能以最低的价格体验当地文化，由其中的in that case可推断，此空处是使游客能以最低的价格体验当地文化的方式，C选项“It could also help me create a lifelong connection with them.(它还可以帮我与他们创建一个终身关系)”中的them与空前的they指代一致，且与空后的in that case指代内容相关。故先C项。 【19题详解】 分析语篇可知，此空处为本段的主题，根据空后的“When someone is visiting your area, don’t just take them to the touristy spots. Show them the places that mean something to you. Show them your heart through the places that you show them and the experience you give them.(当有人来你的地区旅游时，不要只带他们去旅游景点。带他们去那些对你有意义的地方。通过你带他们去的地方和你给他们的经历，向他们展示你的心)”可知，本段讲述的是有人去你所在的地区，不要带他们去景点，你可以带他们去你觉得有意义的地方，结合上一段中讲述的作者带他游客去他所在地区体验当地文化可知，该段讲述的与上文作者的做法一样，A选项“Everyone can do the same.(每个人都可以做同样的事情)”概括了本段的内容，且起到了承上启下的作用。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“It’s a time that both you and the tourist will probably never obtain again.(这是一个你和游客可能永远不会再获得的时刻)”可知，此处讲述的是这是与游客很可能永远不会获得的时间，F选项“Don’t rush the experience, thoroughly enjoy every moment with that person.(不要匆忙的体验，彻底享受和那人在一起的每一刻)”中的“enjoy every moment with that person.”与空前的内容吻合，其中的that person与空前的the tourist指代一致。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分3分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Students at an elementary school in California, with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline that people can call to get ____21____ advice from kids during difficult times.

We can see he is in his garden, for he is watering the flowers ____38____ a watering can. The drawing ____39____ (entitle) “It’s Time to Water the Flowers”. This implies that this man obviously loves routines (and his flowers), and probably ____40____ (water) his flowers every day at the same time. He is doing this even though it is raining heavily. However, the plants don’t need the extra water he is providing. He is not seeing the obvious, but is just going through the motions without ____41____ (think).

I should add that we’re not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old. That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless. One day, I paid a visit to her. On my arrival, seeing my low spirits, she asked me whether I had prepared to get a new start. I just kept silent. Without any more words, she picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table, saying “You do know what you’re doing with these things, don’t you?” It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty ancient. “Yes,” I said. “Good. That’s why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home and get it all set up,” she went on. “Then, when you bring it back, show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the Internet, sending e-mails and so on.” She smiled so sweetly. Setting up the phone would be easy, but teaching her how to use it might be challenging. The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother’s with the phone. “Here’s your phone. It’s all ready to use.” For the next hour, I was busy setting up her passcode (密码) and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond. When I finally got her to swipe (滑动屏幕), she didn’t put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. “Take it away!” she howled. “I want my old phone back!” I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn’t want to go home when she was angry. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Come on, Eileen.

One more try.” I said. “This time I’ll hold your finger and show you how much pressure to use. Guess what, it took me a while to get the hang of swiping.” added I. I held her finger gently and her face lit up when the menu appeared. “I want a selfie with you. Show me how to use the camera!” My heart sank a bit, but she didn’t need a lot of help and we sent her friend Emily a photo of us both laughing. “I can’t wait to show everyone my new phone,” she said happily. “Thank you for your patience, Tom.” (99 words) I was not feeling so hopeless any more now. Great-grandma’s spirit inspired me greatly. It occurred to me that if a 92-year-old lady could learn new skills, then so could I. I had no doubt that I would find something I liked even more. There must be a job out there for me somewhere and I was sure to find it. I headed home with a smile on my face and a whole lot of love for my amazing great-grandmother. My great-grandmother would always be a role model for me to learn from. (85 words) 参考范文2 “Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. Still in her anger, my great-grandmother turned her back to me, pretending to ignore my words. I knew her tricks! I went over to her quietly, stretched her new phone before her, and took a selfie with her. She took over the phone immediately before I could do something. “Let me have a look at the photo!” she said curiously as if nothing had happened. “Wow! Great! It indeed works better than the old one!” It seemed that “curiosity” drove Eileen to learn to use the new phone fast and perfectly. And her sincere “thanks” brought me warmth and strength. (100 words) I was not feeling so hopeless any more now. “Eileen, you’re great!” Seeing the brilliant smiles on her face, I showed my admiration to the lovely lady for her “passion” for the new things. Meanwhile, I thought to myself that nothing could defeat someone if he had a willing heart. “You’re cooler than James Bond! Nothing is difficult for you.” “Thanks again, my dear! Surely, I’m eager to learn something new, though it may bring difficulties to me. It really brought me benefits to think of something from different angels. So it is with you!” My great-grandmother’s words really got me lost in thought and inspired me to go forward.
